T'othcr day he rugged up kite. 1t
was the biggest kite 10 ever seteyes
on. 1t was about six feet wise, an
twice as long, an on the top Of it
my boy placed few green branches
which he'd cut from a cottonwood
tree. whats them for.?- | inquired

for long time, when | says TO him :;
You'd better pull that thing down
now, an get to your work Lemme
alone, dad he replied, EI'll git thar
yet And, by goshl he did. The
next time | took q look at him
he was hauling.sin. on the kite
line, and a smile on his face as
hvood as furrow. When the kite
came down near the ground | saw
what he was smilin' at and it was
enough to make body smile too.
Any you fellows want toa.guess
what was on that kite?" s Sa1..~..
None of the drummers wanted to
guess, and the old man continued his
story:
"Wall, sir, sittin' on thea top o
that kite was eleven o the puttiest
wild geese you ever saw. Yes, sir,

kite with tar, SO their feet would
stick so fast they couldn'tget away,
he did the business. By gosh 1T
was fun to pull them geese in. just

DIET OF STRONG MEN,

The Roman soldiers who built such
wonderful roads and carried weight of
armor and luggage that would crush
the average farm hand, lived on course
brown bread and sour wine. They were
temperate in diet, and regular and con-
slant in exercise. TIE Spanish peasan:

eats only little fruit and come olives,

the negro fed on fat meat. The heavy

It is going the rounds of the papers
that an attempt was made TO wreck the
presidents train between Bonneville and
Jonesbsro on the 18th. The story says
that the pilot train got on to burning
trestle and discovered it on fire just in
time to save the presidents train. This
hear.-renjing story was wrought in the
fertile mind of some one who doubtless
expected something to occur in Arkansas
that would be in keeping with the name
the state has in the north, It is a whole
cloth yarn. except that the 4 o'clock
morning passenger, which was 7 hours
ahead of the presidents train, came to a
trestle which was just taking fire from
the weeds and grass which were burning
around it. Mr.. j. P. Coffin was on the
train and went out and examined the
trestle and the fire, and be says there was
no hint from any one that 1t was set on
fire, for it was plain to every one that the
fire had burned in the grass up to, and
was beginning to catch the trestle under
meath. 1t was put out and the presidents
train aud pilot train were in no danger
whatever. II was falsehood calculated
to injure the good name Of Arkansas and
the enthor simply slandered the good peo.
pie Of Craighead county.-Telephone.

Agricultural Experiment Station.

AS is well known the State Agricultural
Experiment Station has no farm of its own,
and hence it must rely on the farmers of
the state for the land on which to conduct
the series Of experiments that are to be
carried out this summer. 1t is desirable
that these experiments be tried in each part
of the state They are as follows;
FirS,-The testing of new fodder plants
to see if they are adapted TO our soil and
climate.
(t) Alfalfa, species of clover, requires
land well drained, and from which the
snow does not blow off in the winter; sown
broadcast, used for hay or green feed does
not die out like ordinary clover.
(b) Cow pea sown in drills and cultivated
like beans makes very heavy growth of
excellent fodder; used only for green feed
can be grown on poor, weedy soil, but does
best on soil naturally rich in potash.
(c) Horse beans, sown broadcast with
barley or oats that are to be cut for hay, to
increase the nutrtiousness of the fodder.

A Modern Miracle.

The story comes to us OF a man who, more
than twenty years ago, injured his knee by
being thrown from horse. The leg was
bent at right angles and stuck straight out
behind After abandoning all hope of ever
limbering his knee joint, he had a wooden
leg fitted from the knee down, and thus lie
walked for more than twenty years. A few
months ago, hearing OF the marvellous re-
Taxing power of Johnson's Anodyne Lini-
ment, he was induced to make trial OF 1t
and, strange as it may seem, after rubbing
in the liniment twice day for nearly five
weeks the cords were entirely relaxed and
the leg Strengthened. Several months have
elapsed since this. occurrence took place,
and yet the knee-joint is as servicable as

Second-Tests with fertilizers. The work
with fertilizers will be confined to single
line of inquiry namely, to ascertain whether
fodder plants can use phosphoric acid when
it is supplied in the cheap form of undis-
solved phosphate rock or undissolved bone
black. These experiments will be tried on
permanent grass land only, as it will take
two or more years to determine how much
benefit has been received from the fertilizer.
The phosphates will be supplied.
(d) In the form of fine ground South Caro-
lima rock.
(b) In the form of fine ground bone-black.
(c) These two forms mixed with the addi-
ton of plaster.
The trials with new fodder-plants will be
on plots Of one-fourth of an acre. The fer
tilizers trial on plots Of one-tenth of an acre,
with several unmanured plots for compare
son. The experiment station will furnish
the seed and the fertilizers free of cost, only
STIMULATING that whoever takes them shall
agree to report to the station the results of
the trial All who are willing to try any of
these experiments will please send in their
names and signify which experiments they
desire to make. Full directions will be sent
with each package of seed or fertilizer. Ad-
